Mom’s cooking #4 – Beef porridge

July 18, 2012 By: Mai Truong Category: Comfort food, RECIPES, Vietnamese

– Guest post by Mom, loosely translated by me –

There are mornings, even on weekends, when I wake up feeling like a stone (Mai: she means it figuratively, the supermodel BMI runs in our family 😉) and still have to get out of bed because of the mountain of work waiting. Not work at work, but work around the house. Laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, tidying the bedrooms, grocery, and especially cooking even when I have no appetite. When those mornings happen, I think of something easy to make and easy to eat. Naturally, porridge comes to mind. My daughter doesn’t like porridge, but when she’s not home I can prepare it for her dad and me for lunch and maybe dinner, too. I like porridge: mung bean porridge, fish porridge, chicken porridge, pork porridge… and beef porridge for today.

Beef Porridge (serving 3)
– 1 cup cooked rice
– 2 lb pork bone
– 1 lb ground beef
– 8 oz champignon mushroom
– 1/2 sweet onion, minced
– 1 tbs minced garlic
– salt and sugar to taste (e.g., 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar)
– a pinch of ground black pepper
– green onion and coriander
– 3 eggs

Simmer the pork bones to make stock, remove all the white floating foam. Use cooked rice instead of uncooked rice so that the porridge is soft but the grains don’t disintegrate, and the bottom layer doesn’t get sticky and burnt.
Season the beef with garlic, onion, salt, sugar and black pepper. Scoop spoonfuls of meat into the boiling stock. When the stock boils again, add rice. Simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Do NOT stir. Once the porridge becomes really mushy, add mushroom. In a bowl, whisk up the eggs with chopsticks and dribble it into the boiling stock. Re-season if necessary before turning off the heat.
Garnish with green onion and coriander. Serve hot.

Beef porridge is easy to make (Mai: in my book anything with more than 3 ingredients ain’t no breezy game), not elaborate but healthy for the old and young, strong and sick. I feel lighter after I eat a bowl. How can our mind weigh down anymore when our body is elevated by something so hearty and warm?

  45. Cách bảo quản chè Thái Nguyên được lâuTrà xanh rất dễ hút ẩm và ám mùi từ môi trường xung quanh nên cần bảo quản trong hộp kín, tránh ánh nắng trực tiếp và nơi có độ ẩm cao. Nên để trà trong túi hoặc hộp kín khí, đặt ở nơi khô ráo thoáng mát, tránh xa các loại thực phẩm có mùi mạnh như cà phê hay gia vị vì trà rất dễ hấp thụ mùi lạ. Nếu bảo quản đúng cách, trà xanh Thái Nguyên có thể giữ được hương vị tốt trong khoảng 6 tháng đến 1 năm sau khi mở gói.

    45
  46. Câu hỏi thường gặp về trà xanh Thái NguyênTrà xanh Thái Nguyên và chè Thái Nguyên có khác nhau không? Không, đây là hai cách gọi cho cùng một sản phẩm, trong đó “chè” thường dùng để chỉ cây chè hoặc cách gọi dân dã, còn “trà” là cách gọi trang trọng hơn, thường thấy trên bao bì và trong giao tiếp hằng ngày.
